Not saying that's going to happen, but just let's not put all our eggs in one basket. Expand I doubt we are, we almost always have a back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked really good from what I saw last season, better than Badiashile. That was the tail end of the season when Chelsea were dreadfully good. Now they've got Tosin, who apparently stunk things up. Is Chalobah any good? He's 25 and just breaking through now. Haven't much in terms of rumours or a price tag. So selling Gallagher and Chalobah are both "pure profit" moves? Expand Only thing I can really remember about him was he was ridiculously lucky not to conceded a penalty against Jacob Murphy, during the infamous Havertz elbow game at Stamford Bridge a few years back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 Ornsteins probably the best for transfers. I used to think Caulkin was decent due to his access to Staveley but I think that’s now obviously a dead end. Edwards is by far the worst. He’ll never live down the Henry Mauriss bullshit and he’s played the dickhead ever since because he knows his credibility is in the shitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiaw vs Guehi depends on the impact on other transfers and FFP. If we remain compliant and can sign our highest RW target. Yeh Guehi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Guehi is 24 years old and is a top 4 defender. If we want to consistently challenge for the top 4, we should sign him. He's available, refused to sign a new contract, and has 2 years left. Next year, he'll be unattainable because clubs like Liverpool will be after him. Edited August 4, 2024 by tarie4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 No way we can afford to drop £60m+ on Guehi without a major sale, surely. I fear Gordon will chosen to depart to fund 2 major signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got chartered accountants at Newcastle United who get paid to crunch the numbers. These Twitter and forum accountants have no idea how much we actually needed to meet PSR regulations June 30 2024. So how can they predict what we can or can't spend? I'll tell you how, through assumptions and guesswork.. If the management says we can spend 300 million this summer, I trust them. They've never given me a reason to doubt them.
